I'm only one year old what the heck Is a overturning system

Several months later, Chen Yi clearly recognized how powerful the senior disciples of each peak were.

Of course, he wasn't being oppressed by the senior disciples from Grand Void Peak, Lin Xun Peak, Dan Peak Mountain, or Qimen Peak.

It was purely Zhan Hongxiu, the senior sister from Sword Edge Mountain, who one-sidedly thrashed him.

Ever since the early morning duel that day, Zhan Hongxiu always looked for ways to challenge him to a duel.

Even though Chen Yi repeatedly declined, he couldn't withstand the measures this senior sister from Sword Edge Mountain had.

Initially, she used the excuse of demonstrating Sword Dao Swordsmanship to younger disciples and brothers, dubbing it as practice, but in reality, it was a duel.

That bout almost escalated into rage between the two.

In the end, it was Ning Xue who intervened and called it off, saving Chen Yi from being beaten due to running out of Gang Qi.

After that, Zhan Hongxiu probably realized that such duels were beneficial for advancing her Sword Dao.

She subsequently established a series of new rules on Sword Edge Mountain.

For instance, each disciple had to fight another disciple every day, and the opponent must vary daily to foster mutual improvement.

The rule seemed reasonable, which made Chen Yi roll his eyes.

The senior sister might as well have explicitly named him as the opponent.

After several instances, Chen Yi firmly refused to duel with Zhan Hongxiu anymore, using as an excuse to help Senior Sister Ning.

No choice.

During this time, he had gained a clearer assessment of his own strength.

If he combined all his powers, he could slay a martial artist in the Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm.

However, if his cultivation reached the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm, unless he ambushed or his opponent's cultivation technique wasn't defensive, he could also try to make a kill.

Aside from that, martial artists in the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm and above were not someone he could deal with at his current stage.

Unless he advanced his cultivation further, reaching the upper segments of the Seventh Grade, ideally the Sixth Grade Returning-Origin Realm, only then could he fearlessly face anyone in the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm.

Well, that is assuming these Fourth Grade martial artists' techniques have not reached the Peak of Great Success.

Like Zhan Hongxiu, who perfected her Sword Intent of the Sword Dao Great Success to completion, she wouldn't be someone Chen Yi could defeat even after advancing to the Sixth Grade Realm.

It sounds complicated, but simply put, his current strength lies between the Fifth and Fourth Grade Realm.

Even though Chen Yi wasn't entirely satisfied with this, everyone on Sword Edge Mountain nevertheless called him a demon.

Even occasional visitors to the mountain like Lin Xueru and Du Yanqing changed their nickname for him from "Brother Yi" to "Demon Brother Yi".

It left Chen Yi somewhat amused yet frustrated.

Calling him a demon wasn't as pleasant as "Little Sword Immortal".

However, there's also some good news in this past half-year—

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Age: 34]

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Origin Transformation Realm (Lower Stage)]

[Talent: Late Bloomer—The older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed.]

[Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique: Small Success—Transforming True Yuan into Gang Qi, solidifying Gang Qi to unleash Shock Thunder]

[Sword Dao: Great Success—Battling for a hundred years, Sword Intent reaching the pinnacle of purity. A sword drawn, ten thousand bones dry!]

[Rebellion Points: 5/100]

Through Zhan Hongxiu's guidance, Chen Yi fully grasped the essential points of the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique beyond the introductory level.

He successfully cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique to the Small Success Realm, allowing him to enhance the Shock Thunder Skill using his Gang Qi.

Just like Zhan Hongxiu's method, his protective Gang Qi would flicker with electric light.

Moreover, with the advancement in his technique, Chen Yi's cultivation broke through to the upper segments of the Eighth Grade, reaching the lower segment of the Seventh Grade Origin Transformation Realm.

His progress was slightly faster than Dou Yanqing, Du Yan, and Wei Letian.

But compared to Lin Xueru, who possessed innate spiritual energy and special bloodlines, his advancement seemed pale.

The young lady had elevated her cultivation to the upper segment of the Seventh Grade Origin Transformation Realm in just half a year.

Her speed delighted Master of the Ancient Tao to no end.

Upon analyzing afterwards, Chen Yi realized the notable importance of elixirs.

For instance, while the little girl could consume Nourishing Yuan Pills as if they were candy beans without being affected by medicinal poison,

Chen Yi needed a gap of several days, even more than ten days, to detoxify the subtle medicinal poison from the Nourishing Yuan Pills.

Just with this alone, he and others like Du Yanqing could not compare.

Sometimes, Chen Yi even suspected that the little girl's bloodline was a poison body, just like him, immune to poison.

Of course, these were just his wild thoughts in his leisure time.

...

In a blink of an eye, several months passed, and it was Chen Yi's birthday.

Like the previous two years, he did not mention this day.

Unlike the Lantern Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't make arrangements at Sword Edge Mountain.

However, Sun Zhengqiu, who had been away for a long time, brought him two letters and a piece of news.

One of the letters was from Chen Yuan, who was at Wuliang Mountain. The messenger who had come down from the mountain was met by Sun Zhengqiu, who brought the letter along.

Another letter had been brought from Duke Wuan's Mansion in Kyoto Prefecture.

As for the news...

"You mean, Marquis Jingye has been living reclusively ever since his injury?"

"Master, the pharmacist I contacted privately said so,"

Sun Zhengqiu replied, "He also said that most of the meridians in Old Marquis Zhou's body are broken, and his lung meridians were also damaged, leading to physical weakness."

"What else?" Chen Yi asked noncommittally.

He had already known these things from his previous time in Kyoto Prefecture, and did not expect Sun Zhengqiu to uncover deeper information.

He knew that Zhou Tiance definitely had been scheming secretly.

At least, during that Lantern Festival when he was kidnapped by the Mad Old Man, that old fellow had appeared outside the city and attacked him.

"Since his injury, he has gathered soldiers to guard Beixiong Pass once, but during that time demons constantly invaded from the south, causing heavy losses for the Devoted Army."

"It's only a little over a year until the next time he goes north to guard the pass."

At this point, Sun Zhengqiu took out a yellowed piece of paper from his robe and handed it to Chen Yi: "This is the Devoted Army's conscription order."

"It is said that this time, the old marquis has gained the Holy Emperor's approval to double the troops and supplies for the Devoted Army."

Double?

Chen Yi nodded, instructed Sun Zhengqiu to keep an eye on the situation.

After asking about his cultivation achievements, he sent Sun Zhengqiu away from Sword Edge Mountain.

After all, Zhan Hongxiu was still on the mountain, and he couldn't come and go freely without being noticed, unlike before.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and felt increasingly that Zhou Tiance's attack on him was related to the demon invasion twenty years ago.

To get to the bottom of it, the battle at Beixiong Pass was an inevitable checkpoint.

Thinking so, Chen Yi opened the envelope in his hand.

The letter from Marquis Mansion was written by Xia Wanwan, a reply brought back by Sun Zhengqiu when he specifically sent a letter to her.

The letter wasn't long, but it was full of Xia Wanwan's reminders to him.

A smile surfaced on Chen Yi's face, it had been a long time since he returned to the Capital City, and he somewhat missed home.

Then he looked at the other letter signed by Chen Yuan—

"Second brother, hehe."

"As if seeing you in person..."

The style was still the naive tone of the elder brother. In the letter, he first complained about him joining the Grand Void Sect and not sending any letters to Wuliang Mountain.

It followed by a whole section about his life learning in Wuliang Mountain.

"Master is very fond of me, taking me for cultivation every day."

"He also prepares a medicinal soup after my cultivation, just like Uncle used to."

"The senior brothers and sisters on the mountain also take good care of me, sometimes when I make mistakes and get punished, they all plead for me."

"Moreover, they also prepare food, clothing, and necessities for me, they are really nice to me."

"By the way, second brother, hehe, my cultivation has now reached the Sixth Grade Origin Transformation Realm, the master praises me as having extraordinary talent."

"But he said next, he wants to take me to a special environment for training, it might be a long time before returning to the mountain."

"If you send a letter, remember to sign it, I will write back to you after receiving it..."

After reading the letter that filled ten pages, Chen Yi put it away.

The elder brother's cultivation has reached the Sixth Grade Origin Transformation Realm, it seems Wuliang Mountain indeed values him.

And rightly so, as his letter mentioned how well the master and senior brothers and sisters took care of him.

It seemed his days at Wuliang Mountain were not bad at all.
